West Lancashire Light Railway Friendly Engines Day 2014

THE Friendly Engines Day  will take place on-  Sunday, 6 April 2014 at the West Lancs. Light Railway (WLLR "Our new season gets under way with this annual treat for families with young children. Steam trains will be running from 11.30 am to 4.30 pm.  Everyone knows Thomas. This is a chance to meet some other engines with friendly faces.  Also at 12.30 a presentation will be made to 6 year old Henry Brown, our winner of the 'Great Railway Treasure Hunt' organised nationwide by Peter's Railway books. Henry's prize is a family season ticket on the West Lancashire Light Railway for the 2014 season" said a spokesman for the group.

Should you wish to go to this fantastic location, tickets are very reasonably priced and are valid all day; as many rides as you like:-  Adult £4.00, Children £3.00 (under 3 free), Senior £3.50

If you do not know what the railway is, the best thing to do is head on over and take a look.  But just in case you still want to know more... The West Lancashire Light Railway is a short 2' gauge line situated at Hesketh Bank, approximately midway between Preston and Southport. We are open every Sunday and Bank Holiday from April to the end of October. Motive power includes several historic steam locomotives, some in working order and others undergoing restoration, and a large number of internal combustion industrial locomotives. The line runs beside a former clay pit which served a brickworks adjacent to the old West Lancashire Railway.

Also make note... Easter Trains 2014 - If you can not get to this event, we would strongly recommend you go to the Good Friday event, taking place 18 April 2014, as well as the Easter Sunday, 20 April, and Easter Monday, 21 April 2014 events that will be running from:- 11.30am to 4.30pm.  The location also has FREE car parking. If you are not driving, the No. 2 Preston to Southport and No. 2 Southport to Preston, bus stops are close by.   Plus we would recommend you make use of the station snack shop that will be selling Hot and cold drinks. But the WLLR also told us to remind it's users that a good range of refreshments are also available at Booths next door.
